14. Press the control switch to release tension on the cable.
Disengage and remove the hook or terminal tackle.
15. Hold the hook strap to keep some pressure on the winch and
retract the cable. Make sure each wire wrap fits snugly with the
next wrap. Stop when within a few feet. Press the button for
three seconds to turn the winch off. Disengage the clutch and
spool the final wraps by hand.
WINCH LIMITATIONS
There are several limitation that can affect the time duration, power
consumption and maximum weight a winch can move. A snatch block
will improve the winch’s performance. Make sure to follow all safety
and operation instructions from the snatch block’s manufacturer.
POWER
The maximum load the winch can pull is diminished with each additional
layer of cable around the winch’s drum. Table 1 shows the maximum
amount of weight it can pull and the length of cable remaining on the drum.
Whenever possible, remove
as much cable off the winch
to pull with the maximum
power. Keep five wraps of
cable on the drum at all
times to prevent the cable
from slipping off.
Use a snatch block to move
a heavier load that is close
to the winch. This will increase the amount of line outside the fairlead
and increase the winch’s pulling power at close range.
LINE SPEED
The heavier the load, the
longer it will take the winch
to move the load to the
desired location. Consult
Table 2 to determine how
fast the line will be drawn
into the winch.
A snatch block will halve
the line speed when pulling
the load.
